The static vs. dynamism paradox in value-driven design: a descriptive study of value management challenges in complex system design

Antoine Persehais, Thierry Gidel, Pierre-Emmanuel Fayemi

ABSTRACT:

This study investigates the challenges of dynamic value integration in complex innovation projects. Difficulties stem not from a lack of willingness, but from a persistent lack of re-openability in design governance systems. This study identifies a triple closure mechanism that filters out evolving stakeholder values. The paper reframes value integration from a technical problem to a political-institutional process, arguing for an Adaptive Governance Infrastructure designed to manage the necessary tension between static and re-opening.
